IT GRC on the Leading Edge

Retail is on the leading edge of our economy - an early indicator of conditions ahead. That’s also true in the world of IT GRC, where retailers are on the front lines of the data security battle. Major retailers are well-versed in the PCI DSS and are now implementing technologies that reduce their PCI scope and address emerging risks brought about by mobile technologies and social media. Smaller retailers are just now becoming PCI-aware, and are looking for compliance solutions that are both accurate and cost-effective.

Compliance Matters

If you ignore PCI compliance, or even if you don’t properly document or test your controls, you are taking unnecessary risks. On the other hand, if you over-do compliance, you spend too much money or limit your business opportunities. That’s why you need a partner like Coalfire.

Coalfire will help you develop a right-sized compliance program. Not only will we help you get compliant, we will help you get value from the program. For retailers, we are particularly focused on:

Helping merchants that are new to PCI learn the standards and complete their first full assessment.

Providing advice on how to reduce PCI scope as much as possible through segmentation and implementing technologies like encryption or tokenization.
